Wow. so many "cheap mods" must add up to quite a bit of money :confused:
Gonna have to put up pictures first. And I really like the idea of clip ons.. If you have ridden with them installed, how are the vibrations? I've read they are worse than the stock bar but first hand testimonial is always better
I wanna see those clip-ons too. I was looking at some on ebay with interest to buy but didnt
I was riding with a pair of clip ons off a gsxf (42mm ID ) i made a shim on the lather to reduce the diamiter and cut a slot through the shim and clip on and drilled and tapped a pinch bolt. they sat bloody low and wind resisitance felt like it was next to F*£$ all. Vibration was pretty bad and all of the weight on your wrists in slow moving traffic was terrible but on the open straight roads they were great how ever i now have rethal bars and that i much prefer! better handling,easyer on the back and looks the muts nuts too!, recoment renthal bars over clip ons any day now i have experienced the two.
hope this helps

The obligatory, "Pics!"
There's a chance the bar ends wont fit in the aluminum clip-ons. You may have to drill them out, I had to with mine I used to have.
Also, if the vibs are bad, fill the clip-ons with BB's.
By the way, where do you plan to mount you clip-ons?

The way I seen them mounted was under the top triple which seems really low to me

Yeah I used to have the ebay ones mounted above my top plate. I bought them in part to lower the bike some.
Main reason I was asking the op, is because if you mount them the traditional way, under the triple, the headlight bracket will no longer work on the E.
Sorry guys I am having trouble with insurace right now my bike blew over with the wind a few weeks ago pisSed not to much damage I haven't installed the clipons yet and your right about the bar ends not fitting pics soon And I am only young paying 700 a month on insurace and I am a student
$700 a month for insurance? :cookoo:
Yea it's f***ing crazy I am 18 but I don't drive wreck less I want to live.. And it's 700 a month for 6 month but I get the years insurance
Im 24, Mine is 1200 for the year. Full coverage. Jevco Insurance.

that's more than the whole bike is worth. get a new insurance company. or change your coverage.
Can anyone recommend a company I am currently with jevco
I am thinking to go with td 120 dollars cheaper and better coverage
Td was significantly higher then jevco for me. I have heard good things about State Farm!
sorry for not posting the pictures i have been in an accident car ran me off the rode and bike is finished so much work and gone so fast... thinking of just getting an r6 and leaving it at that
Wow....that sucks. What did you do with the bike/parts?
Your bad luck is probably why your insurance is so high! haha
I have Progressive and paid 300$ for the whole year. Had my license suspended twice for a year each, couple reckless endangerment things and I am 21. It is just liability though.
Sure as hell beat the 200$ a month I was paying for my 98 Ford F150 Lariat and that was only liability also. <-- thats why I sold the truck plus the 100$ a week in gas.
The OP and Higgins are from Canada - health care is "free" because it's paid for by insurance. All motorcycle insurance is substantially higher north of the border......
To the OP (ifI you're real),Pics or it didn't happen...
I have progressive insurance liability only and it's a whopping $91.00 a year. I have a few tickets and am 27 and married. Huge difference when you turn 25. Almost makes marriage worth it to get the insurance discount.
I'm 21, no accidents/tickets...my insurance (liability only) is a whopping $95/yr with progressive...don't get an r6, if you couldn't afford gs500 insurance, how in gods name are you gonna afford r6 insurance???
Also much more bike, and it doesn't seem like you've got a very good track record and can't be too experienced given your age...not trying to ding you, just want to get you thinking. I'm stickin with the gs for a good long while.
$17 a month. Liberty mutual. Full coverage with a few tix on record.
Of course I am 36, so I must be old. :cool:
^Gonna give a good look into that^
^^^ makes 2 of us.
I pay $22/month for full coverage and comp on my 04 GSF and my 05 XT225. And it goes down like every six months or so..

Very similar to what I have. I pay $29/month for full coverage on my '04 with Progressive also. $0 deductible and accessory coverage.

Edit: Just realized this could be read a different way... Is that $22/month each bike, or both together? I could understand it is probably not much more for another bike of similar value though...

True.
$22 for both bikes together.
Started around $34 and has gone down slowly.
